MARLBORO, VT - On Tuesday, March 28, experimental filmmaker Patricia Galvis-Assmus will give a gallery talk about "Visual Images in Still and Time-Based Art," at 4 p.m. in Marlboro College's Drury Gallery. The presentation addresses issues of choice, selection, and decision-making in regard to visual and creative works of art.

According to Galvis-Assmus, who is an associate professor and director for the Center in Research in Art and Technology at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, "The images that we use can impact the message given and the interpretation taken within our work. Whether we are creating still art or time-based work for film/video or performance, we must consider the iconography used." Galvis-Assmus has a B.A. in painting and computer graphics and an M.F.A. in experimental film.

The event is free and open to the public. The Drury Gallery is fully accessible. For more information, please call (802) 257-4333. The Marlboro College events calendar can be found on-line at www.marlboro.edu/calendar/calendar.html.
